Al Jazeera journalist Ismail Al Ghoul, and his cameraman Rami Al Refee, were killed on Wednesday in an Israeli strike targeting a car near the Aidia area, west of Gaza City.

Hamas had condemned the killings as a “heinous crime” which it said was “aimed at terrorising and silencing” Palestinian journalists as they reported “the ongoing genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip for nearly ten months”.

Al Ghoul was born in 1997 in the Al-Shati refugee camp, north of Gaza City.

He obtained a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the Islamic University of Gaza and began working in print journalism as a correspondent for the local Al Risala and Palestine newspapers.
